At Udacity, our mission is to empower our students through education to advance themselves personally and professionally, and help them land their dream job in the tech industry.
We believe that education is no longer limited to four years or four walls, it’s a lifelong pursuit. Technology is advancing rapidly, and there is a growing skills gap between job-seekers and career opportunities that Udacity is dedicated to closing through education. T...

Video of the first attempted landing of a SpaceX rocket on a barge. It was so unbelievably close, I am looking forward to the next launch and landing attempt.On top of this amazing video I also have to mention the best (IMHO) comments from reddit - (https://www.reddit.com/r/spacex/comments/2sn5n9/crs_5_crash_video/) about this video:

Redditors humanising the rocket and it's parts:Wow. It's just trying its little heart out to make it the X... This brought a tear to my eye...Fins: Guys! I got nothing! Computer: Maybe we should abort. Merlin: Fuck that! I'm going in! Computer: Boss is gonna be pissed if you break his boat. Merlin: He said "Hit the X", I'm hitting the damn X! Boss: Good job!Merlin: The boss said hit the X, he didn't specify hit the X vertically﻿

Interesting post about dangerous behaviour of human-driving cars. Humans are really bad at it. Our safety drivers routinely see people weaving in and out of their lanes; we’ve spotted people reading books, and even one playing a trumpet.

The result of an independent journalistic investigation on the downed civilian plane last year. Long, but very interesting read, available in German, English and Russian (see links in the original post).

They don't say this lightly. They worked on this for a long time. They went over a lot of evidence, interviewed a lot of local people and present their findings including a lot of detail. Correct!v, Algemeen Dagblad and Der Spiegel are convinced:

"MH17 was downed by a ground-launched BUK missile – launched by a unit of the 53rd Russian Air Defense Brigade from Kursk."

"There is no doubt: on the afternoon of July 17th 2014 a BUK took position in the little mining town of Snizhne, a territory controlled by Russian separatists."

"There is little doubt: it was the 53rd Russian air defense brigade from Kursk that took position in Snizhne in eastern Ukraine on that fateful afternoon."

"The man hesitates. Then he starts to talk: “They shot it down. The missile flew from here. We saw it, as it flew.”

"To recap: After the destruction of MH17, a BUK launch pad that was missing one missile drove from Snizhne towards the Russian border."
